ThingWorx Foundation 9 Trial installer fails to install on Debian Linux

[rmeng]

After the installer for windows failed, I tried linux.

This is what I got:

---

There has been an error.

Failed to install dependencies: Chef Client

The application will exit now.

---

I installed the Oracle Java 8 JDK 202 and put it into the path, same I did on Windows.

Is there ANY installer that actually works?

[Rick-Stanley · Accepted solution]

The Linux installer supports CentOS, Fedora, and other systems based on the Red Hat family. It does not support Debian.

Wow.

I need to install a specific linux to make it work?

Why is that?

[Rick-Stanley]

Yes, the free trial installer works with linux distributions based on Red Hat.

One of the main differences is Red Hat uses yum to manage installed software and Debian uses apt-get. This is only a limitation of the free trial installer. The full, licensed version of ThingWorx has more options
